September 22, 2019 - Part 1

I was delighted to find out this morning that a friend in our church, like me,

likes to hike and take photographs, 

and her husband, like mine, is not a fan of the photography part,

 which admittedly does take a lot of time.

I was even more delighted when she suggested we go for a hike this afternoon!

I took 998 photographs, and not even a hint of a sigh of impatience was heard anywhere.  

It was delightful.  :D

We went to an old mill that's only 10 minutes or so from our house!

There is a 1.5 mile trail around the pond, and trails in the woods surrounding the mill.

This photo is a reflection of the mill in the pond.

The pond is fed by Ball's Creek, which branches off of the Catawba River.  

The dam was pretty...

I wish we had known about this place while we were having so much rain this summer...

I'd love to see water covering it.
